Men

Yes, you guessed it, this is going to be a bit of a rant (or maybe just a few life lessons I've learned).

You know that book that came out years ago "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". Wow, so true. Seriously, I never believed it until these last few years. The make of a man's brain is 110% different than womens. And these aren't just observations I've made from my own love life, my friends around me have the same problems.

The whole not calling or getting back to you game? Why not, if you like a girl and want to see her, stop playing games and just call. Dating games are rediculous and might just make the girl lose interest. Commitment phobics, seriously, just grow up. What is wrong with a little monogomy? Sew your oats when you're younger, then find someone you love. Do you really want to one day be 80 years old and realize you're all alone and you never really loved someone? All the money and the success in the world can't make up for that day....

Maybe I'm just a bit bitter from the last few years of failed attempts at relationships. And I'll admit, I'm sometimes at fault, but recently, not me!

I do have a funny story, so about 2 months ago I went on a date with a guy, we'll call him, well we'll call him by his real name, Colin. We had been talking on eharmony for a while (which by the way I quit that site as well as match, decided to just give up on men for a while), we meet at a coffee shop, (I posted about this guy earlier so refer to that date). Well the date goes ok, and we email back and forth saying we'd like to meet up again. A few days turns into a week and then another one and he we set a date to go, then he e-mails me the day before and says he got invited to go skiing that day, but he's not sure he'll go so he'll let me know THAT DAY if he decides not to go and see if I'm still free. Sorry man, I'm not free anymore, I just became busy. I'm not sitting around waiting for that call. Anyways, we don't talk after that for a good month. I write him off, thinking he's not intersted. Then a week or so ago, while I'm in a meeting at 8 o'clock on a Wednesday night, I get a text from him, randomly saying "I'm so glad it's almost Friday, how are you??". Really?!? A month later. To this I reply "I'm sorry, but who is this?". He writes back "Really?? This is Colin". I'm sorry to burst your ego, but you didn't talk to me for a month, am I supposed to know you. You weren't that good of a date.

And so, this is how my love life continues.....this is so why dogs are better than boyfriends (or maybe men just are dogs??). haha.

Have a good Thursday everyone! It's almost the weekend, and I actually get both weekend days off this weekend!!!
